A Life to Remember

You know you're getting a bit long in the tooth when you listen to a cover version of a song and you can clearly remember the original.

The other day I heard the Liberty X cover version of A Night to Remember by Shalamar. As a teeny bopper, I lived for Friday nights when my friends and I would go bananas; our favourite night club was also called Bananas. I remember bopping to that song.

When you love someone it's natural, not demandingAnd that's one thing I'm proud to say I found in youI'm so glad we reached an understandingNow I know my heart is safe with you, hoo...So now my love to you, baby, I surrender

Get ready tonightGonna make this a night to rememberGet ready (Oh, baby) tonightGonna make this a night to remember

Celebrations and my heart could stay unitedAnd there's nothing in this world to come between me and youWe're together and it keeps me so excitedTo think of what the power of love can do, ooh...And I'm filled with a love that's, oh, so tender

Get ready [Baby] tonight [Girl]I'm gonna make this a night to rememberGet ready [Get ready] tonightI'm gonna make this a night to remember
